Everybody knows how important it is to girls to find the perfect homecoming dress in high school. I had already been looking for my ideal dress for a while in the department stores closest to me. It was time to result to online shopping and I had found a website that sold Sherri Hill look-alike dresses. I found a short, sheer, strapless, blue dress that looked like it was for a princess with jewels on it. The reviews said that it was a trustworthy website and me even being able to enter my exact measurements, I thought I had found my perfect dress. Little did I know, the package ended up shipping late and only arrived a couple days before my homecoming. When it got to my house I was so excited to open it, but when I did it was not what I had
In the “Perfect dress” by Marisa de los Santos, Marisa describes how women view themselves. Women are never satisfied with their appearance, always wanting what they do not already have. Marisa explains the significance of a beautiful dress to a woman on low self-esteem. She taught us that when we learn to see the beauty in what we have, nothing can stop us from feeling untouchable.
Dress code has been the biggest topic in Treasure Coast High School. There have been many meetings regarding that issue. There should be dress codes for students for many reasons. Some of TCHS dress code rules are collared shirts tucked in, must have sleeves with necklines, shorts/dresses must be at knee length and turtle necks. Like Mallika Sherawat said, “To undress is the dress code these days and I didn’t start it. We are all voyeurs, so why the complaints? Until girls don’t walk in a swimsuit on the stage, they don’t get the crown, so why is everyone so holier-than-thou?”
When choosing the right dress, you should consider looking for the dress that perfectly fits your body and in which you feel completely comfortable. Besides if the young girl would want to add volume from the waist down, a puffy tulle dress will produce the desired effect. In addition, if you want to narrow your silhouette, it is recommended A-line dresses, corsets, imperial cut dresses, or dresses created with plain or undecorated material. The neckline can be in several forms such as V-shaped, a low round cut, or a halter. If the quinceañera will wear a backless dress, it would preferably be either strapless or contain thin straps. Yet all the choices should be considered according to their budget, in which they will determine if they would
Getting the dress custom made does not mean that it will be less expensive; the price relies on the type of fabric, design, and the tailor selected. Furthermore, there is a large variety of fabric to choose from. It differs from traditional silk to the most modern materials used today. The type of fabric and color of your dress is defined by the style and personality, although it is advised to stay close to the modern fashion trends. At least 9 months before the event, the decision of the dress should have been made, and also visited a variety of stores, web pages, and looked through magazines to complete your decision. It is highly recommended to ask the mother for advice or someone that person trusts in case the mother is not there, but it is also not recommended to take more than one person when buying and choosing the dress because different opinions may confuse you and affect the decision. When choosing the dress, you should always make sure you are pleased with what you chose. In addition, it is unconditionally essential to try on all the styles you like and those you do not like since you might realize that you like the way they fit you. Although it was accustomed for Quinceañera dresses to be white or a pastel color and decorated with sequins or extra extravagant
As a teenager, growing up tends to be a struggle for us. Most girls would say that fitting in is a huge deal. Nine times out of ten, finding that one outfit is difficult when you have all these rules. Dress code at school has been a battle between who can get away with it the most. An unknown author once said, “Self-confidence is the best outfit, rock it and own it.” This quote hit home for me in multiple ways. For starters, teenage girls are having trouble trying to be confident and when we have so many restrictions it is hard to feel comfortable in our own skin. With all these restrictions we feel as if we can’t express ourselves. On the other hand, the guys get away with almost everything when it comes to the dress code. I feel as
First, you have to get possession of a dress. And you have two options-first, use one of your older sister's old dresses, or buy one for yourself. And you already know that

Homecoming Queen is the third installment of the Carter House girl series and a major developing point in the series. As a result, the book contained many key moments or events that all led up to the end of this story and set up the next one, therefore causing me to write an extra-long summary. The story follows main character DJ and the rest of the Carter House girls. Previously, in Stealing Bradford, Taylor disappeared at the end of the story. Taylor’s disappearing act followed a Myspace incident involving scandalous pictures of her, leaked by an unknown person.

Lurking in the 83-degree weather of October is a classic high school theme. There are dozens of movies whose entire plot describes a high school homecoming. Homecoming rituals at my high school are very cliché; everything revolves around dress up week, the football game, and the (dreaded) dance.
Any girl that has ever attended public school knows about the struggle of a dress code. On those hot days as the school year approaches, girls pour over their closets trying to find an outfit they won’t get called out for or sweat to death in. All their dresses are too revealing, their shorts too short, and their shirts reveal way too much shoulder—or so the schools say. Girls have been attacked time and time again with dress codes. Policies are almost always directed strictly towards girls; some even specify for girls only. These dress codes are not only sexist towards women, but they limit female’s freedom of expression and their choice to feel comfortable, and they do not teach female’s to have self confidence.
Art is all around us. There are many different forms of art. It can be something created, captured, or it can be already existent. Not a single person is to say what makes something art because there is a different definition for everyone. However, there are a couple factors that come into mind whenever someone decides to declare something as art. In this essay I will be comparing and contrasting four different pieces of art. I will be discussing each art piece’s form, time period of creation, intention or purpose, and value. These four pieces of art are Michelangelo’s Pieta, Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, Mark Rothko’s No.61, and the “Oyster Dress” by Alexander McQueen. These works of art come in all different shapes and sizes but they are valued
In the first place I have a dress code. One, I don’t like tight baggy. Two I don’t like baggy shirts either. My dress code is skinny jeans and button up shirts with the sleeves rolled up. Also, I don’t want to wear the fancy stupid dress shoes. Sometimes school uniforms involve dress suits and neck bows, or ties. Plus, girls might hate wearing short skirts, even worse they might be scared there is a pervert waiting to look under their short skirts. If they wear long skirts they might be scared of falling over because of their skirts.
Me and my older cousins drag the box outside onto the front porch. As I begin to open the box my hands started trembling. I couldn’t tell if my hands were shaking from the excitement or because it was five degrees outside. It took us two hours to put the hoop together. Our lips felt like icicles we were numb from head to toe, but it was worth every moment. It was the most beautiful basketball hoop I ever seen. It was candy apple red and the backboard had lights on it just in case I wanted to play in the dark. I thought Santa Claus gave me the coolest gift in the world.
